Thirteen years after the filthy hijinks of Bad Santa, professional thieves Willie T. Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) and right-hand-man Marcus (Tony Cox) reunite in the film's long-awaited sequel. The first trailer finds that disgruntled duo talking business at a diner, as Marcus teases a new job with a potential windfall of "millions." Fittingly, Soke fires back with a racist one-liner.

In an interview with Slash Film, Thornton said his outlandish character has "probably gotten a little more world-weary" since the original Bad Santa. However, he clarified that the writers have taken the character to some deeper places.

"I think we pushed it even a little further this time, not only in the sort of dark humor but also in the emotion," he said. "This one has more of a heart, more of a story you would say, but it also went a little further with some of the nasty stuff."
